GeoReform: Reflective Formalization Evolution for Multimodal Geometry Problem Solving

GeoReform is a reflective formalization evolution framework designed to improve multimodal geometry problem solving by treating formalization as an optimizable policy rather than a fixed parser. It iteratively runs the reasoning pipeline, collects failures, diagnoses representation defects, and mutates the policy to better select, ground, group, and present geometric entities, relations, constraints, and targets. On the Geometry3K benchmark, GeoReform raises Qwen3VL-2B accuracy from 42.0% to 56.0%, demonstrating that effective formalization is crucial for enhancing multimodal geometry reasoning.

GraFT: A Training-Free Framework for Spatial Reasoning in Multimodal Large Language Models via 3D Scene Graphs

GraFT is a training‑free framework that enhances spatial reasoning in multimodal large language models by integrating a compact 3D scene graph (3DSG). It offers deterministic geometry via symbolic tools, allocentric layout through bird’s‑eye‑view rendering, and visual‑attribute grounding using egocentric frames. Experiments on ScanQA and VSI‑Bench show significant performance gains, with CIDEr increasing by 27% and improvements up to 65% over baseline models.

Reasoning with Image Generation

The paper introduces ReImaGin, a method that uses image generation models as a flexible visual reasoning tool for multimodal large language models. Unlike traditional fixed-function vision tools, ReImaGin accepts natural language commands and can perform open-ended visual operations such as removing occlusions or creating floorplans from multiple views. Experiments on six diverse visual reasoning tasks show that ReImaGin outperforms both text-only reasoning and specialist vision-tool baselines, achieving up to a 25% improvement.

DepthEvidence: Unifying Metric Depth Prediction and Geometric Reasoning in Multimodal Language Models

DepthEvidence is a 4B multimodal language model that integrates dense metric depth predictions into language generation. It employs a camera‑conditioned decoder to produce full‑resolution depth maps and a dense‑to‑language interface that converts these predictions into object‑aligned geometry tokens. The model is trained with geometric supervision and instruction tuning, and it sets new state‑of‑the‑art results on a Depth‑VQA benchmark and on instance‑level metric depth estimation across nine datasets.
